query VS bundlejs

Angular TanQuery Repo: https://github.com/ngneat/query/

I have reasonable knowledge with most of other popular JS frameworks especially React. But, Angular seems quite different from DX perspective. For React, my default stage management is to use React Query for server sync and Zustand for client state. Often on Angular context I read that people recommend using NgRx and saying that it is like Redux. But I find Redux DX quite bad and I only work with it on legacy projects. So is there similar approach to managing state in Angular app? I found solutions such as: https://github.com/ngneat/query and then https://github.com/ngneat/elf. Would these make sense for Angular and are there good alternatives?

what you're looking for is ngneat/query. It uses tanstack query under the hood. much like in react, you can use it for async (also called server) state management, it will not help you with managing client state (like dark/light theme toggle, ...). You still need rxjs for making API calls much like you would use the fetch api or axios in the react version. I don't think it replaces signals, you could still use signals with it (and signals support seems to be planned).

Package Size Checker

I was closing out some long lived issues over on bundlejs, when issue #50 reminded me of the ongoing debate about how bundlejs should handle the ESM and CJS packages.

Still, I'm not really sure about its dependencies: it lists react and @tanstack/react-query (as opposed to @tanstack/query-core) and bundlejs reports 124KB gzipped. Also, while using it, you still need to refer to their react docs (that documentation is really good and has a lot of examples) but not everyone will be thrilled about checking a react documentation when they're using an angular package.

It's somewhere in between.

React as a lib and architecture _is_ platform-agnostic. The core logic is defined in the `react-reconciler` package. It contains all the implementation of rendering components, diffing trees, managing state, and running effects, as well as all the "Suspense" implementation.

However, the way `react-reconciler` works is that it's built _into_ each platform-specific renderer implementation. So, the size of `react-dom` is actually the size of `react-reconciler` + all the DOM-specific behavior.

A quick check of https://bundlejs.com/?q=react-reconciler suggests it's about 100K minified. https://bundlejs.com/?q=react-dom is 138K, so that tells me that the DOM-specific logic is 38K.

React Hook Form has no dependencies and a small bundle size. It has a gzipped bundle size of 12.12KB, according to bundlejs.

These are shameless plugs, but https://bundlejs.com and https://inthistweet.app. I built both tools specifically because I didn't find any other tools that solved the problems I kept running into.

Try https://bundlejs.com/ to see

bundlejs (pronounced bundle js) is a quick and easy way to treeshake, bundle, minify, and compress (in either gzip or brotli) your typescript, javascript, jsx and npm projects, while receiving the total bundles' file size.

Don't know of any but was going thru Adam Wathan's twits and replies. Found, https://github.com/okikio/bundle Looks medium sized.
